Toolholders & Workholding

TungBore-Mini is a multifunctional drilling and turning tool line that integrates the capabilities of drilling, OD, and ID turning tools. Its unique XOMU insert features an innovative geometry incorporating a large inclination angle on the cutting edge that produces light cutting, compared with standard ISO positive turning inserts that are typically used for ID turning or boring operations.

The family of vises is ideal for applications requiring multiple vises to be mounted parallel to each other. Versatile, the vises can be mounted on their base or bottom or vertically positioned on their end. The vises are equipped with Palmgren's Dual Force so as to deliver workholding efficiencies by providing the strength and rigidity to hold parts securely and accurately.

The ANGLED ROUND TOOLHOLDERS position the insert at 30°, 45° or 60° angles for reliefs, undercuts and angled OD and face grooves. Round shank sizes are available in diameters of 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", 20 mm and 25 mm.

The mini version has all the proven centroteX technology, however with an additional advantage: Actuation takes place with just one screw; thus, you save even more set-up time, and this system was designed to enable a robot to quickly change the clamping device.

Round smooth, round serrated, hex smooth, and square smooth sizes are available for W&S (all sizes), S-style (all sizes), Gisholt, Jones & Lamson, and Martin collet pad types, allowing more varied geometries can be securely gripped. The ability to quickly change between sizes allows shops to expand their machining capabilities, increase their machine cycles by up to 30%, and maximize production.

With an ultralow profile of 40 mm and extremely flat design, ZeroAct is ideal for any zero-point application especially those where the z-axis travel of the spindle is critical. The ZeroAct features rapid open and closing of the modules and simultaneous actuation with one simple twist of the wrist generating 15kN clamp force.

The GYROFLEX offers the flexibility to meet a variety of production demands, from low production volume and parts prototyping to high-volume and high-mixed production. A single GYROFLEX requires reduced setup and changeover times and completes complex parts efficiently and accurately.

A key benefit of this vise is the simple solution it provides for integrating automated machine tending into your machine shop. Air Vise offers an electric kit that allows a cobot/robot the ability to open and close the vise by controlling the air flow.

The Lynx 2600SY is designed with a rigid bed structure and incorporates roller type LM guides for all axes. The maximum turning diameter is 14.9" and the maximum turning length is 24", and the main spindle incorporates a 10" chuck while the sub-spindle handles either a 6- or 8-inch chuck size.

Northfield's engineering team has developed a brand-new chucking system that requires NO air tubes or hoses. This Pressure-Lok™ air chuck is charged with air by a special handle and holds air pressure for over 2 weeks. These chucks can be mounted to rotary tables with no thru-hole, tombstones, pallets, transfer systems, etc.

The Greenleaf Quick-Change Toolholders conform to ISO 26623, utilize standard components, and are designed to maximize tool life in carbide and ceramic turning applications.n
